When it comes to the world of science fiction there is no more well-known rivalry than that between alien and predator. The aptly named aliens vs predator mod brings this combative rivalry to Minecraft along with all of the weapons, beasts, and tools that go along with the franchise. For starters, all three of the main races in the AVP films are represented here - Aliens, Predators, and Humans as hostile mobs.

That said, unlike so many mods like it, the Aliens vs Predator mod adds a number of great blocks for creative players as well. These blocks have a science fiction aesthetic, allowing creative-type players to build out futuristic building interiors and starships.

Tools of Death

The mod also adds a huge number of new weapons, all of them taken directly from the film, including but not limited to:

M4 Carbine

Wrist Blades

Wall Mine/Detonator

Pistol

Plasma Caster

All of the Mobs

Beyond the weapons for each different faction, there are also different armor sets for the player to war that match the aesthetics of the different species, whether they be marines, xenomorphs, or predators. All that said, let’s get to what the real core of the mod is – the different mobs. In addition to just having marines, predators, and xenomorphs that spawn automatically throughout the world and fight constantly, there are also the different stages of the Xenomorph livecycle – including facehuggers, chestbursters, and even the alien queen. Every one one of these different aliens is extremely well modeled and textured, especially for Minecraft.

Variety Makes Your Audience

What really makes the Alien vs Predator mod for Minecraft so great is the fact that it can appeal to the different types of people that play Minecraft. When most people create a mod, they focus on multiplayer, survival, or creative – but Alien vs Predator manages to deftly balance all of those different parts by giving creative players new blocks to build with, survival players new mobs to fight and new ways to fight them, and multiplayer players the opportunity to team up to save the universe from alien hordes.
